Who we are
McAllister CPR provides on-site CPR, first aid and AED services in Bryan, College Station and the Brazos Valley. We teach American Heart Association courses, the American College of Surgeons Stop the Bleed course and naloxone (Narcan) training, and we inspect the AEDs and fire extinguishers our clients keep on site.
We work with child-care centers, dental offices, gyms, student organizations, foster agencies, churches, offices and construction crews.
How we work
We teach at your location on weekdays, evenings or weekends, so your staff do not have to travel to a classroom. Students receive their AHA eCards the same day, and our fees are listed on this site.
AHA cards are valid for two years. We keep a record of every class and send a reminder about three months before your team’s cards expire. If your organization owns an AED, we can also take care of the monthly inspection, the fire extinguisher checks and replacement pads and batteries.
Training standards
Our CPR and first aid courses follow current American Heart Association guidelines and use official AHA course materials. Every course includes hands-on practice on manikins and AED trainers, and students must pass an in-person skills test to receive a card. We do not offer any AHA CPR or first aid course entirely online.
Stop the Bleed courses follow the American College of Surgeons curriculum. Students receive a certificate of completion.
Common questions
Will my employer or licensing board accept your cards?
Our CPR and first aid courses are American Heart Association courses, which are widely accepted by employers, schools and licensing boards. If you are unsure which course you need, check with your employer or board before you book, or ask us.
When will I receive my card?
Students who complete an AHA course receive their eCard the same day.
How long is a card valid?
AHA BLS and Heartsaver CPR and first aid cards are valid for two years. We send a reminder before your card expires.
How many people do we need for an on-site class?
Our listed fees are per person for groups of four or more. For a smaller group, contact us and we will quote a price.
What do we need to provide for an on-site class?
A room with enough floor space for students to kneel beside a manikin, and a table for paperwork. We bring the manikins, AED trainers and course materials.
Can we add Stop the Bleed or naloxone training to a class?
Yes. Stop the Bleed adds about one hour and $30 per person, including each student’s certificate of completion. Naloxone (Narcan) training adds about 30 minutes and $10 per person.
Do you offer online courses?
Every AHA CPR and first aid course includes in-person, hands-on skills practice and testing. For HeartCode BLS, students complete the online portion through the American Heart Association and then finish with a skills session with us.
Can you service our fire extinguishers?
We perform monthly visual inspections. Annual maintenance, tagging, recharging and hydrostatic testing must be done by a state-licensed fire protection company, and we can refer you to one.
Can you repair our AED?
No. We handle inspections, pads and batteries. Repairs are handled by the device manufacturer, and we can help you arrange one.
